Michael Jordan: $1.9 billion
Michael Jordan hardly needs any introduction. Over the course of MJ’s 15-year career, he earned $89,772,500. When you look at MJ’s year-by-year salary one thing jumps out. During his final two seasons with the Bulls, Jordan earned over $30 million per year. Incredibly, just one other player was making over $15 million per year during the same time period.
In his post-retirement life, MJ has continued to rake in the cash. Jordan spent s few years as Director of Basketball Operations for the Wizards, before buying the Charlotte Hornets. These days he is no longer the sole owner of the team but he is still the majority owner. Oh, and he still makes money from the apparel brand that bears his name. The GOAT is the greatest on the court and the greatest off the court.
